Question 1

Is this 24 physical pages (48 "page sides") or is this 48 physical pages (96 "page sides")?

Accepted Answer

This is:
* 48 pages
* 24 leaves
* 12 sheets of paper

Question 2

how long does it last in your back pocket? my small moleskin fell apart after a few months.

Accepted Answer

I keep mine in a my back pocket until I fill it up, which is about three months or more and I carry it everyday in all sorts of conditions. The area around the binding shows some wear and the front/back covers have some crinkling marks, but it is still very sound and has held up wonderfully!

Question 3

Are these pages water resistant like Rite in the Rain brand products?

Accepted Answer

The "Kraft" books are regular paper and not water resistant. We do make the "Expedition" edition, available here: http://www.amazon.com/Field-Notes-FNC-17-Expedition-3Pk/dp/B00AQO8Q88  Expedition is made from waterPROOF (not just water-resistant!) and tear-proof Yupo synthetic paper (actually a plastic substrate) so, (being waterproof) it doesn't absorb ink from a felt-tip pen (it will smear). A regular ballpoint pen or a pencil will work great.

Question 4

How does the paper in the notebooks take to being written on by fountain pens?

Accepted Answer

You'll see "50#T Finch Opaque" in other comments, but we've recently upgraded all our Kraft-cover books to 60#T, which is better for fountain pens. We have a lot of fountain pen fans who love our books, but we hate to say "they work great" because there are infinite combinations of pens, nibs, and inks... We do have other editions with different papers that you might prefer, there are threads on various forums discussing this, some with writing samples. Here are some old tests from our site (Note this is the old paper) which will hopefully give you an idea: http://fieldnotesbrand.com/2009/02/18/pen-tests/
